Sparta man arrested on warrant

VERNON — A Sparta man, who eluded police in a vehicle in July, was arrested on an active warrant in Vernon on Jan. 6, police said.

Michael A. Kane, 20, was arrested by Vernon police without incident in the Lake Glenwood section of Vernon after police received a tip that he was staying at a residence, police said.

Kane had an active warrant issued by state Superior Court in Newton, according to Vernon police. Kane is being lodged in the Sussex County jail without bail.

Kane was first arrested in June when he was driving 74 mph in a 40 mph zone and then did not stop when police tried to pull him over, according to Sparta police. Kane was eventually stopped and charged with multiple offenses.
